Many have heard of gastric bypass surgery, but few fully understand what the whole procedure involves, how it is done, what complications could potentially arise and what results the patient may expect.
Streamline Surgical is making it easier for people to decide whether weight loss surgery is something they should consider – without even having to make a doctor’s visit.
At the Streamline Surgical website, visitors may seek advice from Streamline Surgical’s highly qualified team of experts, including Mr. Shaw Somers and Mr. Guy Slater, otherwise known as the Discovery Home and Health’s “Fat Doctors,” who help the nation’s obese lose weight and get healthy, often maintaining a healthy living for the long term.
Along with Mr Shaw Somers and Mr Guy Slater, Streamline Surgical have employed a team of bariatric surgeons, dietitians, physicians and psychotherapists around the country to thoroughly answer dozens of patient questions on its site, such as what is the main difference between a gastric band and a gastric bypass, as well as whether weight loss surgery is the best option for people with diabetes or those who have suffered from eating disorders in the past.
Videos, advice and tips for healthy living can also be found online, as well as a forum where new patients, former patients and anyone trying to lose weight can discuss the process with like-minded people who understand and could provide support. A sample of topics include obesity support groups, discrimination, hints for managing various types of surgery, testimonials and personal milestones.
The forum is free, and all members can send private messages, post links and share photo albums with other people in the community. Streamline Surgical is dedicated to providing the community with a number of weight loss resources, so fighting obesity doesn’t have to be a lonely, scary battle.
